ATTENTION ALL GRADUATING STUDENTS!

Check your mailboxes for important information about Commencement 2002!
Cap and Gown Order Forms must be submitted to the Office of Student Affairs (Room 219) during the period March 25-29 (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). If you are considering taking part in the Commencement Exercises on Friday, May 24, 2002, please bring in your completed Cap and Gown form. At that time, you may also pick up your tickets and engraved announcements.
 
As before, a ticket policy will be in effect for admission to the graduation ceremony. Because of limited seating in Alice Tully Hall and the anticipated number of graduates to be in attendance, it is necessary to restrict the admission of invited guests. Please note: Tickets to the ceremony cannot be guaranteed if you do not register for a cap and gown during the dates specified above. Further information will be available through the Office of Student Affairs beginning March 25.

For more information, visit BAM’s web site or call (718) 636-4100.

Juilliard Summer Project Grants Available

Juilliard financially supports, in full or part, the summer activities of a small number of students who engage in structured summer projects outside their regular professional artistic studies. The projects should be designed both to expand students’ professional versatility and to strengthen their sense of social responsibility as artists. Preference will be given to projects that have not only educational value to the student beyond conventional artistic or academic studies, but also potential benefit to others, especially those in underserved areas of the United States. Students are encouraged to apply for summer grants by submitting a written description of the projects and proposed budget, including contributions by the applicant and other funding sources, to the Dean’s Office by March 18, 2002.

Applications Sought for Faculty Prize

April 1 is the deadline for faculty members to apply for the John Erskine Prize. The annual $5,000 prize is open to faculty in any division to help underwrite projects that will make a contribution to their field of the performing arts. Special consideration will be given to activities that are interdisciplinary in nature and that make a contribution to the community.

Applications, including a description of the project and a budget, should be addressed to the Dean’s Office.
